The GISP has become a respected and in-demand indication of your skills as a GIS professional. If you are pursuing the GISP credential, or are thinking of doing so, join us on April 3 and 4, 2018 for a six-hour, two day virtual event, as a group of talented GIS experts share valuable information that can increase your chance of success.

Earning the GISP credential requires successfully completing an exam as well as a number of other application requirements.

Day one (Tuesday, April 3) will explore the reasons that the GISP credential is worth pursuing as well as what is involved in completing each part of the application.

Day two (Wednesday, April 4) will explore the topics that you need to be familiar with for each of the knowledge areas covered by the GISP exam.

Information presented in this webinar is designed to help professionals who have extensive GIS education and experience, but need to know what topics to review prior to taking the exam. It also will help individuals with some GIS experience that may be lacking in one or more areas covered by the exam and that need to know where to find additional resources to study.

The webinar agenda will be as follows:
